Presumably you are already claiming child tax credits for your 1 child so when you renew your entitlement to child tax credits and working tax credits will be calculated for you. If you want to check in the meantime - you can use https://www.entitledto.co.uk to find out your entitlement for this year.

WTC and CTC are claimed together, do you get CTC now? You should get at least the family element about £10.50pw.

You are eligible for WTC elements but you won't actually get any because your income is too high (unless your OH gets disability elements).
